ROWPS Permit Renewal Readiness Checklist Dubai

ROWPS permits should be reviewed before expiry so contractors have enough time to determine whether work can be completed under the current permit or whether a renewal or extension may be required.

HMJ Contracting supports ROWPS permit applications in Dubai.

1. Confirm the Permit Expiry Date

Record the expiry date and compare it with the actual construction programme.

2. Identify Remaining Work

List all work that is still open inside or affecting the Right of Way.

3. Review Scope Changes

Check whether work limits, access points, utility crossings or traffic arrangements have changed since the original permit.

4. Check Drawing Revisions

Confirm whether the current site arrangement still matches the approved drawings.

5. Review Reinstatement Status

Document any areas that have already been reinstated and any sections still awaiting completion.

6. Prepare Updated Evidence

Gather current photographs, programme information and revised documents where needed.

7. Confirm Site Access

If access arrangements have changed, verify whether this needs to be reflected in the renewal documentation.

8. Maintain a Renewal File

Keep:

• current permit copy,
• expiry record,
• latest drawings,
• updated programme,
• supporting photographs,
• correspondence.

Early review helps reduce the risk of active work continuing with an expired or outdated permit.
